Rust bindings for RocksDB, the embedded key-value store, statically linked with a specific RocksDB version. It exposes RocksDB features like column families and configurable compression codecs (Snappy, LZ4, Zstd, Zlib, Bzip2) through crate features.

Use cases

• use rocksdb from rust
• embed a key-value store in a rust application
• persistent storage with column families in rust
• fast local database with lz4 or zstd compression
• build a storage engine on top of rocksdb in rust

When to choose

• you need RocksDB's performance and features from Rust code
• you want an embedded, statically linked key-value store without running a separate database server
• you need configurable compression algorithms or multithreaded column family management

When to avoid

• you need a network-accessible database server rather than an embedded library
• you want a pure-Rust key-value store without C++ build dependencies like Clang/LLVM
• your workload fits a simpler embedded store such as SQLite or sled
